WHO refused to act on Taiwan's warning,
WHO has its staffs virtually all over the world. Yes they announced the disease but gave improper information and it took them almost a month to do so. It is rediculous knowing that WHO's experts are on top in the field.
Yes they are an advisory board and they refused to listen to a warning from Taiwan in a blink of an eye.
again because i think you are missing the point
what did WHO dismiss
who was talking publicly about it being an atypical disease the same time taiwan was saying it.
what you are not realising is that on the 18th of december to the 30th of december. it was atypical respiratory disease
the hospitals and who were all still running tests. and still only getting patents with ties to the wetmarket
at the point of december 31st they were still not 100% sure it was of a pandemic magnatude
they were still considering/testing for and ruling out all options of all possibilities sch as normal sars and just random people with other issues. whether it was some gas attack by terrorists. whether it was food consumption poisoning, plus many other things
it takes days to get the tests under a microscope and enhanced (multiplying the sample cycles to then run) full tests.
it takes days to contact monitor and trace the links between these patients with similar symptoms
yes it was odd. and yes the doctors in wuhan seeing this of new list of symptoms think the worse and panic. but until all the tests are in and results are found raising an international alarm is stupid to do too early.
here is the thing. january 9th is 3 weeks after patient zero but only a week or two after the other couple dozen
raising an international alert in 3 weeks is actually using all the results to back it up and the transparency of wuhan/china actually passing theat info around. is actually good time
i can guarantee you this
just like you thinkthat a taiwan doctor got tod by a wuhan doctor about risk of virus. i will say there would be another doctor that told his pal that he is worried that it might be a terrorist act.
and yea 4 months later the taiwan doctor wh got told the virus possibility early on. thought to himself 'i can be famous by saying i knew before anyone else'
this taiwan doctor HEARD a possibility(a valid possibility) but did not truly KNOW at the time if that possibility was 100% backed up by tests.
its like fortune telling
if you send out 50 stories and one story sounds familiar to a certain person . suddenly you can be famous with that one person
whats not said is that during december 18th to 31st. many doctor in wuhan were also consulting other doctors about poisons and other contaminants.
purely because NO ONE know the true extent or severity of how transmittable it would become in that first week or two after patient zero
just do the math (even without checking facts the maths itself shows rationality)
1person december 10th - hospitalised 18th
3people 13th-18th -hospitalised 21nd
9people 16th-21th -hospitalised 24th
27people 19th-24th - hospitalised 27th
so when a hospitals sees 1 patient.. ok odd no big alart
when a hospital sees another 3 patients .. ok now somethings very odd more tests needed
then 9 then 27.. yep doctors dont have test reslts back yet but doctors are panicing and worrying about many causes
again many causes were tested and ruled out. many experts in diferent fields were consulted
just because a taiwan doctor was on the path of a new viral strain. he did not 100% know for sure because it was just concern/worry/panic. without test results.
again china and WHO didnt hush it up. patient zero is known publicly WHO didnt wait until march/april to act.. they started acting when they got the results back and started making the alert local at first and international by january 9th
this si normal/rational and accepted timeline.
what is not acceptable is the lack of preparedness countries not near china. who didnt stockpile or prepare in january
and the lack of preparing is not WHO's fault
a taiwan doctor rings up WHO on december 31st and says 'i heard rumours from a friend that theres something going on in wuhan with an atypical respiratory disease"
your narrative is that on WHO done nothing and said nothing for months
my narrative is WHO was very vocal
heck even the next day yep january 1st
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3044207/china-shuts-seafood-market-linked-mystery-viral-pneumonia"There are many potential causes of viral pneumonia, many of which are more common than severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. WHO is closely monitoring this event and will share more details as we have them"
"Investigations are still being carried out and authorities cannot yet confirm what pathogen is causing this illness,"
so december31st. they atleast rules out terrorist/poison attack. and realise due to people entering severe symptoms. that it is viral pneumonia
yep only seven people were in severe distress.
7 not 70 not 700 not 7000.. just 7
